I completely agree with every single word you've written. In short, rules in India are not made for safety, but for money. Hi Sourav, thanks for your comment.

I do agree that talking in cell phone using a headset is similar to talking to co passenger. Where is the problem? If headset is banned then talking to co passenger should also be banned. Actually lawmakers make the way for cops to take bribe. Now if we look on street, I can find lots of commercial cab drivers talking over cell phone handset. But they are never caught because cops know that they can only take the car regn number but not any money. So they will harass us. Law wants us to swuitch of cell phone while driving. But we have to spend hours on road in metropolitan cities and if we switch of cell or not receive call it becomes difficult to communicate. I am not talking about personal calls. Those can be rejected. But what about business call or emergency call. Few days back one of my friend's father passed away. I got the news and I was driving the car. So I could immediately turn round and reach him on time. But had I kept my cell off then I would have received the news after 2hrs and on reaching my home. Then I will take much more time. Even at times we need to keep in touch with someone while druiving to locate the personal if we have to meet him on way. My question is, if those are not allowed, then why are pedestrians allowed to walk and cross roads while talking on cell phone. Is it not dangerous? Why drivers are always blamed because they are owner of car and it is easier to collect money from them and it is easier to catch them using car registration number? Let govt take India to stone age or ask people to use cell phone in home only like a fixed line. Sorry to say but the law maker never think of situation while bringing up the new law.

Shouldn't they ban players from cars then? Oh sorry, that means lost revenue for car trade in India, that's a no go! It'a about money, not safety.

Is it merely a token gesture to show they're trying to do something when really they are not. Or just an underhand method at extracting money from any poor saps who happen to get caught under this mad law? what is the point of even proposing laws that are unworkable, i.e. not enforceable.

Cops were like listening to music while driving is a big diversion since driving is a responsible job. on the other hand the people said that music soothed them off their stress.Not something new they tried doing it some months back.But people managed to put it on hold :D .
